Morphology

Shahbagi + style

The noun 'style' transparently signals a manner or fashion associated with the modifier, so a learner who knows both words would understand this means the style belonging to or associated with 'Shahbagi'. However 'Shahbagi' is a proper name with no lexical definition here, so the specific sense (that it is a dance style) cannot be derived from the constituents alone and requires prior knowledge of what 'Shahbagi' refers to.

Etymology

Shahbagi style may come from a picture of a king in a garden: one story says Shah means 'king' and bagi means 'garden', so dancers move in bright, arranged patterns like a royal garden parade. That's why Shahbagi style now means a showy, patterned dance style.
